I don't consider this overplanning, I'll be flying out IFR and I've got
to file something, right? Besides, it's fun, it's interesting, and I'm
enjoying it. I've found airports with both cheap fuel and good food
reports that fit the bill and allow for diversion and flexibility.

I can't wait.

It's not overplanning at all. And, splitting it into two days will make it a
whole lot more enjoyable. In one day that third leg into SAF would be
bothersome, perhaps even a bit irriating. But, fresh the second morning it
will be a delight. Plus, given decent weather a morning flight westbound over
the mountains into SAF is a lot prettier than in the afternoon.
